Re: Crypto functions
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Well, by cryptographic I mean "interesting crypto-type functions," not necessarily just reversible mappings. As far as an encryption API is concerned, hash functions are no different: a byte stream comes in, a different byte stream comes out. I ask because I'm starting to put together those GUCAPI function I was talking about before the new year and defining the initial set of functions. L. McCarthy noted that I didn't include sapphire, and I've included it in the (trivially expandable) interface definition. I'm more interested in being inclusive than in excluding cryptographicall weak functions (and I don't feel that I'm qualified at this point to make the call between what's weak and strong anyway). - - -- Todd Masco | "life without caution/ the only worth living / love for a man/ cactus@hks.net | love for a woman/ love for the facts/ protectless" - A Rich Cactus' Homepage - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCUAwUBLxLPixNhgovrPB7dAQEWZgP3eLGNg+X5oxIySLFaTRaZN5eHgS402S39 /6FsB2eiUhy0j7OOrd3OiMorQSJ+V/8UvyJUayUYlWBoTgC/zJn8Vry4zX0HWhRh URv5IT3l3Q/8kFCBkjRMSS/2b3ya0s2gFUJMzEYz78JNpLOwjtm59svdjydTE+z2 bboLSy+H1A== =1noA - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.

...talking of which, is sapphire available outside of the USA? I'd quite like to have a look at it. - Andy +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Andrew Brown Internet <asb@nexor.co.uk> Telephone +44 115 952 0585 | | PGP (2048/9611055D): 69 AA EF 72 80 7A 63 3A C0 1F 9F 66 64 02 4C 88 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
